one thing in common, their business is growing with eLocal Listing.

My Lawn Care Company signed
up in late November for a
Found Fast 5 City Package
under the Landscaper category.
Robert Bailey of My Lawn Care
has over 15 years of experience
serving Southern New Jersey.
He focuses on lawn service,
lawn maintenance, and
landscape design.
The calls started coming in
shortly after.
Google Results for My Lawn Care Company
My Lawn Care has earned a great reputation as the area’s premier lawn maintenance
company and has had great exposure from word of mouth, but he knew he needed help
getting the word out to compete with similar companies in his area. He turned to
Internet Marketing to compliment his great reputation and traditional advertising
efforts. While he is proud of his website, it just wasn’t being found online for the most
widely searched key phrases; in fact it was only showing up if a customer already knew
his name.
To reach new customers he turned to eLocal Listing to get the word out and to help
maintain his lawn maintenance company and the results have been great. He not only
gets calls, but receives clicks to his own site from his eLocal Listing profile pages.
